In what can only be interpreted as a grave, provocative gesture against extraterrestrials by the people of Earth, the U.S. Government's National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced plans to broadcast a new single by entertainer will.i.am from the planet Mars Tuesday afternoon.

It's clear, by now, that the most interesting thing about NASA's Mars Exploration Program is not Mars itself, which appears to consist chiefly of boring dust mountains and nothing else, but the Curiosity Rover sent there to document it.

Here's the first color photo from Curiosity, the two-billion dollar NASA robot that landed on Mars yesterday. What a crock of shit. This is the first color photo of Mars we're getting? An Instagram of a mountain? Is Curiosity taking photos with a RAZR? This is the worst photo I've ever seen. Fire everyone at NASA. [NASA]
